Looking Forward – What’s on the Technology Horizon?
Wednesday, September 21st, 2011An article entitled “Looking Forward – What’s on the Technology Horizon?” has been published in Information World Europe. This article introduces a talk that Brian Kelly will give at the Internet Library International (ILI) conference to be held in London on 27-28 October 2011.
Brian Kelly’s talk is based on a JISC Observatory’s Technology Output Report commissioned by UKOLN and CETIS, the JISC Innovation Support Centres. That report provides a summary of innovations that an international panel of experts feel will have significant impact in the next year or sooner, in 2-3 years, and in 4-5 years. Brian Kelly’s talk will explore the implications on these innovations for those working in libraries and related organisations.
